2 whole weeks.

A schmorgesborg of pictures.

{and accompanying mini tales}

At first glance, this picture appears self explanatory.

{but there is more to this story}

Apparently this is not Crew's urine.

{this is Tate's}

digest that piece of info for a second....

I know.

{I still shouldn't be surprised}

buuuuut, Crew is.

{obviously}

Apparently crew was standing near Tate as he was relieving himself.

{and Tate turned to talk to his bro.}

Wow. 

Crew is an amazing brother!

Tate begged me to learn how to vacuum.

{BEGGED}

I realized that this could definitely be a benefit for me.

So I taught him.

{and then sat back and watched him go}

I may begin watching soaps and eating bon bons while Tate vacuums... daily.

a little over a week ago we bought a new suburban.

{new to us at least}

It is beautiful.

After 2 days, I had to bring it in for a small repair on a headlight and I was informed that it had to have something else done too.

good news: all was under warranty

bad news: it needed to stay over night

good news: they would provide me with a rental car.

Macy and I unloaded carseats and a back full of groceries from the burb 

{since this was supposed to be a 15 minute repair stop} 

and waited for the rental to arrive.

my reaction to what drove up...

{what the?}

I guess I naively assumed that since they were taking my 8 passenger vehicle I would be given a 5 or 6 seater sedan.

I truly laughed as I drove home in my 4 seater Kia.

{since I refused to pay the extra for a larger car}

It was awesome picking up all of my kiddos from school in this baby.

It hummed down the street and the horn was like pinching a clowns nose.

it was truly hilarious.

{although the 36 mpg was rockin'}

I learned to love that little thing.

{and my children still refer to it as "the tiny car"}

I guess I must be spoiled rotten after driving SUV's for so many years.

But I love me some space!

I was so thrilled to jump into my gas guzzling ton of metal, stretch out my legs, 

and know that I had decreased my carbon footprint in only 24 hours.

{heck yes}

Ahhh, just another week in paradise!
